Introduction to Circuit Theory and Laboratory provides electric circuit analysis theories and related experiments. The electric circuit theory is the most important and fundamental theory in electric and electronic engineering. In this course, electric circuits are analyzed, which are composed of resistors, inductors, capacitors and Op Amp in the linear operational region. The circuits are analyzed using Kirchhoff's current law or Kirchhoff's voltage law. The equivalent circuit and maximum power transfer are introduced using The'venin and Norton theorems. Transient response and energy storage and discharging are described in the analysis of RL, RC and RLC circuits. In experiments, electric and electronic measurement equipment are introduced, and their working principles and manipulations are demonstrated and practiced. The voltages and currents of the circuit elements are measured by standard measurement methods. Each chapter topic related circuits are designed and measured, then the two results are discussed. Also, in projects, application oriented circuits are designed and fabricated in order to enhance the design ability and engineering intuition.
